Abstract
El Salvador's Education with
Community Participation Program(EDUCO) began in
1991, from State and local communities' efforts to
create pre-school and basic education services in rural
areas. EDUCO became a key strategy against education crises
and challenges after the 12-year civil war. During the
1980s, the conflict generated violence, ideological
polarization, severe infrastructure damage and tremendous
population migration within and outside the country. Between
1978 and 1988, average real incomes decreased 37 percent, 67
percent for the poorest 20 percent of the population.
